Fantastic Four

[Silver Surfer]

I haven't bought any recent FF issues but I have been looking at the online previews of these issues and I must say that I am disappointed with the art work. How long has the current artist been on the FF series and do you think we will see a change shortly?

[rob_react]

Ringo? Ringo isn't going anywhere.

[uclapeterg]

Yea, I like the artist on "4" better.

[DKB]

The artists on both books are perfect given each books mood. I hope the both stay put.

I personally love Ringo's stuff. I wasn't sure what to make of him on FF, but for whatever reason it works for me.

I love his stuff on FF... though it seems like you're the only other person to agree with that sentiment.

[uclapeterg]

I think his stuff looks kinda "childish" myself.

Define "childish"?

I have to agree with this statement, it looks way too "cartoonish" for my liking. Reminds me of Archie comics and the Torch looks like Jughead.

So you prefer "ultra-detailed" Liefeld-esque art?

I dig it... I don't know, for me, it's still high-quality, very "sophisticated" art. It's not the "Archie" art that everyone wants to make it out to be as it really is far more detailed and vastly more interesting to look at.

 

And Ringo's Thing is one of my favorites ever.

[uclapeterg]

He draws the Thing well.. my main contention is Johnny.

Hit the nail on the head again. Johnny looks like Jimmy Crack Corn and I don't care for it.

I knew someone was going to bust my balls on that one.

Say, to continue our conversation from that OTHER thread... I just graduated from KU this semester and am currently living out in Olathe. I miss Lawrence, though! It's a great town... in fact, my friend is having her birthday party out on Mass tomorrow night. Beware, there will be lawyers afoot.

 

So, do you collect new issues? Do you get them from a store in Lawrence?? Both of the stores I remember were... well... quite [!@#%^&^] for issues both new and "back". harharhar!

Me too. I find his style to be really aesthetically pleasing. Not cutting edge, but soothing and upbeat. I like it.
